Chapter 3698: Will Not Give Up
After some questioning, the person in charge told Alex that they had been in a gunfight and had not fired artillery.
For some unknown reason, there was an explosion at the Freman base, and the temporary arsenal was blown up. The furious Freman was sending more people to the front line.
There was a possibility of using weapons of mass destruction. Things had developed to the point where Alex finally realized the seriousness. If this continued, it would really lead to an inevitable battle.
"We did not use long-range weapons. How could there be an explosion at the Freman base?"
"Maybe they had an accident due to improper management of their munitions."
The subordinate replied, which was obviously not true. Freman was such a smart man, and his men were well-trained.
How could he make such a low-level mistake? When he realized the seriousness of the situation, Alex gave an order for his people to take turns to cover the retreat and prepare for a truce.
The battle could not be stopped just by saying it would stop. This nameless gunfight lasted for three hours and finally subsided when Alex personally came forward.
Seventeen people died in the Flame Mercenary Corps, more than thirty were injured, and twenty-six people died in the Thunder and Ice, and the number of deaths exceeded that of the Flame Mercenary Corps.
Because Alex saw that the situation was not right, as if he was being used by others, he had to order his people to cease fire first.
He stopped the attack, but Freman had no intention of stopping. In the end, several innocent people died tragically. Fortunately, this battle was finally over.
After the truce, both sides were cleaning up the scene, the injured went to medical treatment in time, and the bombed places had to be repaired and reinforced.
Alex did not dispatch long-range artillery fire. The explosion caused by Freman’s station had nothing to do with him. He inexplicably felt that there was a hand behind him, pushing this matter.
At this moment, in the territory of the Flame Mercenary Corps, Alex came in person to find Freman to explain the situation.
In his original intention, Freman did not want to make a big deal about this matter, and Alex’s initiative to cease fire before caused the death of several of his people.
It represents Alex's sincerity in the ceasefire, which is why he stopped firing on his side, and it is also because Freeman does not want to have a conflict with Alex now.
The strength of the two sides is not much different, and the fight cannot be determined for the time being, but the fight between them will attract the attention of others.
Once the two sides fight to a certain extent, the mercenary groups watching the show will rush up without hesitation, crush their last bit of strength, and divide their achievements.
"Freeman, how many times do you want me to explain to you before you believe that the explosion caused by your base has nothing to do with my people."
Alex explained to Freeman seriously. He didn't know what happened in it. He only came to his senses now. The fight between the two sides started with a small thing.
"Hehe... Do you think I'm a fool? My people have heard some news before, saying that you, Alex, are looking for a chance to teach me a lesson, and you really are ruthless."
"If this matter is really related to me, then since I want to attack you, why don't I set more bombs?"
This is a very simple truth. If Alex could really send people to sneak into his base, Freeman would have been killed by the explosion, and he wouldn't be standing here talking to him.
Calm down and think about it, there is really something strange about this matter, but Freeman doesn't want to admit that it was his mistake.
Even if it wasn't Alex who did it, the blame should still be put on him. Today's battle is a fight between the two sides.
"Alex, I've made a note of this account today. Listen to me, we will fight again sooner or later, and it won't be so easy to stop next time."
It's obvious that he didn't do it, and he was wronged for no reason. Alex is also full of anger and has nowhere to vent.
"Since you have said this, I will tell you today that there will definitely be a fight between us. Don't think that the Flame Mercenary Group is so strong now. If we really fight, you will know how terrible I am."
The two sides have already torn their faces apart. It is the best result that this conflict can end in a truce.
Freeman doesn't care whether someone is plotting against him. Between him and Alex, only one person can survive in the future, and this person must be himself.
There is an important operation the next day. This time he chooses to live in peace with Alex. Alex dares to come to Freeman's base alone, and he is not worried that Freeman will take the opportunity to detain him.
"Xu Qiang's move is really vicious. Freeman is not a fool. He should be able to see that the conflict with the Thunder Mercenary Group was caused by someone secretly."
At this moment, Duan Zhisheng took people and hid in a safe place. Before leaving, he deliberately set a bomb in the underground passage, and the passage has been blown up.
Freeman couldn't find any clues, but Duan Zhisheng knew that Freeman was so smart that he should have thought of this.
"Since he could understand this, why did he want to fight with the other party?"
"The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Both sides had already disliked each other and had deep resentment in their hearts. This battle might be what they wanted."
Previously, the Flame Mercenary Group intended to create friction with the Lightning Mercenary Group. As a general, Freeman did not stop such behavior.
He also wanted to find an opportunity to measure Alex's strength and try to see how confident he would be in defeating his opponent if a war broke out between the two sides in the future.
"They all know that there is a trick, but no one will say it out loud for the sake of face. It is precisely because of this mentality that our plan will be implemented smoothly."
"Xu Qiang, this kid, has studied these people's minds very thoroughly. Now that such a situation has broken out, will Freeman cancel tomorrow's raid plan?"
Hongniang asked, Duan Zhisheng shook his head. After several contacts with this Freeman, he also understood this person's personality and temper.
"This is a guy who only wants to take advantage and doesn't want to suffer losses. Has the raid plan been formulated? It will not be changed at this time."
Duan Zhisheng expected that tomorrow's raid would continue. The previous battle was nothing more than a superficial injury to the Flame Mercenary Group.
"However, in this case, Freeman originally planned to send out fewer people, and leave behind some elites to guard their base to prevent a surprise attack at this time."
